New Scorpion Help, Fps & Ftlbs.

[(g80na1886) 1]

aight guys I purchased a scorp a month or so ago brand new in .22.

I just tested it on a combro and it come up with 10.51 ftlbs and 570ft

is that about right for a new .22 unregulated scorpion? don't worry!! I

did put in 14.3g for the accupells I was using, did it at 190bar & 150b.

id be more than happy with that. at least you know it wont go over the limit.

Try a heavier pellet like a AA Field...may give you a higher reading. They're set low on purpose as they can rise

[reaper1064 285]

BSA purposely keep their new rifles low, as over their break in time the power increases as the parts wear in. That's why you'll find a lot of HW's run hot after a time as the grease and parts settle in. Try and chrono it again after a few tins of pellets have been through it. Accuracy means more than power anyway.

try it at 130 bar..my unregulated pcps shoot at about 140 130 bar is the top of power curve .

My Super 10 started out at 10.5 fpe, now doing 11.3! Don't worry!

IT should bed in but try a heavy pellet like a jsb 16gr , aa field 16gr ,rws superfield 15.9 or H&N

I would be happy if every air rifle I ever owned levelled out at that power dude! Perfect! At least if it ever gets power tested with a variety of pellets it will stay within the law!

Ok fellas I was just thinking maybe I got sold a dodgy one or something lol

would getting it regged make it more powerfull? I'd be chuffed if I got 11ftlbs

Min outta it tbh, I will Definately try the heavier pellets too so cheers for that!!

1000 AA Fields will probably give you that ;-)

[Mawders 595]

And at the end of it you will notice no difference what so ever!

[ghillies 209]

i wouldnt worry about it being 10.5 till you try it out, it'll depend on the pellet wether its hot on or lacking distance..

 

i used 10.5 in .177 for a season with no problems at all out to 55 yards..

[AirgunGuy 362]

My Superten runs at just under 11FPE with no problems at all. .5 FPE will make very little difference down range

i know its a springer, and there different to pcps, but my 97kt is doing

 

jsb exact .. 11.4-11.5

daystate Li .. 10.4-11.05

h&n FTT 11.1 - 11.8

bisley magnum 10.2 - 10.5

 

even 1 fps can be upto .04 of a ft lb depending on pellet used.

e.g. jsb exact 8.44gr ........ 782 fps = 11.40 ftlb , ....... , 783 fps = 11.44 ftlb

 

consistency is important at keeping your rifle legal... as you can see above mines quite allover the shop with the h&n and Li's so its doing nearly a full 1 ftlb difference shot to shot
